Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Hallie Jackson Reports” that American employers “should be free to require vaccinations” for workers and masks for customers. Jackson said, “Latest reporting from the White House, we came on the air at 10:00, announcing that we believe based on our sources here at NBC News that the president tomorrow will announce he is looking at federal workers get the vaccine or else get tested regularly. Do you think that goes far enough? Do you believe it requires all federal workers to be vaccinated and make it a mandate?”

resident Biden will announce Thursday that all federal employees will be required to be vaccinated against the coronavirus or face repeated testing mandates, a White House official said, a dramatic escalation of the administration’s effort to combat the spread of the delta variant. The new rules will closely align with policies recently put in place for government officials in California and New York City, the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to disclose the plan. The White House is not planning on firing government employees who aren’t vaccinated but will impose a number of...

She used most of it on a "lover" who turned out to be a scammer, and spent the rest on jewellery and luxury goods for herself.

Nearly two years after he was arrested, Democratic Donor Ed Buck was convicted today of nine felonies which involved the overdose deaths of two men. According to the prosecution, Buck would lure black men into his home and then inject them with meth in exchange for sex. Two of the men died and a third, who testified at the trial, survived because he was able to walk to a nearby gas station to call for help: During the trial, Dane Brown testified that he had overdosed in Buck’s apartment twice in one week in September 2019. He told investigators he...

Some people say that Kamala is not eligible to be President. Honestly I have not done enough research to know for sure, but it certainly appears she is not. I know everyone is busy staring at the looming Biden TrainWreck, but sometimes just a little preventative maintenance is in order. In April 2008 S.Res.511 - A resolution recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen was introduced and passed by the Senate. In August 2021 - A resolution recognizing that Kamala D Harris is not a natural born citizen must also be passed. If this is done...

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told reporters during a teleconference on Tuesday that her biggest concern is that the CCP virus may be “just a few mutations” away from being able to evade vaccines.“The largest concern that I think we in public health and science are worried about is that virus and the potential mutations. We have a very transmissible virus which has the potential to evade our vaccines in terms of how it protects us from severe disease and death,” Walensky said. “Right now, fortunately, we are not there. These vaccines operate really...

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) went maskless while playing basketball indoors Tuesday, shortly before lecturing residents about the need to wear one indoors. One of Whitmer’s aides posted a video on social media of the governor shooting hoops with the Detroit Pistons: Julia Pickett, whose title is “Senior Photographer/Videographer” for the governor, inadvertently posted the hypocrisy on Twitter to announce Whitmer had joined TikTok. Just hours later, a grim-faced Whitmer lectured residents about wearing one while under the very conditions in which she was captured on film.

WASHINGTON D.C.: Following the closing of the nation's schools during the Covid pandemic, more than 11 percent of all households are choosing to homeschool their children and not return them to public schools. The U.S. Census Bureau reported in March that by September 2020, more than 11 percent of all households were homeschooling their children, more than doubling from 5.4 percent six months earlier. Some parents have said they will homeschool because their children have special educational needs. Other parents are looking for their children to be educated with a faith-based curriculum or say their public schools are flawed. However,...

Mark Twain once mused that if you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. There will be no pause or reflection by the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th attack on the Capitol. That became abundantly plain as the hearings opened on Tuesday. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi won’t allow it. Her narrative of what happened that terrible day will be the only one permitted – all other facts be damned. Pelosi’s Democratic Party is the majority in the House of Representatives, albeit narrowly. As Speaker, she rules like a tyrant. She...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy a "moron" Wednesday when asked about his comment that mask mandates for vaccinated people are against the science. "Make no mistake—The threat of bringing masks back is not a decision based on science, but a decision conjured up by liberal government officials who want to continue to live in a perpetual pandemic state," McCarthy said Tuesday in reaction to new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance. Asked to react to McCarthy's comment Wednesday, Pelosi responded: "He's such a moron." The Pelosi comment underscores the uniquely hostile relationship between her and...

Ashli Babbitt’s mother, Michelle Witthoeft, says Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is responsible for orchestrating her daughter’s death on January 6. “My daughter was a California constituent, and Nancy Pelosi not only, I feel like, orchestrated the death of my daughter.” “I’ve reached out to Nancy Pelosi’s office several times, and she has yet to call me back because she’s too busy playing in her clubhouse with all of her elite people,” Witthoeft said. She then reminded the House Speaker about who she really works for. “You know, it’s the people’s house. It’s not your house, Nancy,” Witthoeft declared. “It’s...

COVID-19 survivors who become reinfected may be less likely to spread the disease or experience severe symptoms, a new study claims. The patients had lower viral loads during their second bouts of the illness than during their initial infection, according to research from the UK’s Office for National Statistics. Scientists looked at around 200 people who contracted the virus again more than 90 days after their first positive test or after four consecutive negative tests. Most people who were reinfected also produced “significantly lower” so-called cycle threshold results in their tests during the first episode of illness, researchers said.
